Eder Militao is 'the best centre back in the world' according to his Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti - but believes the Brazilian can improve. 

The Spanish giants moved into the quarter-finals of the Champions League this week after seeing off Liverpool, and next face further English opposition in Chelsea.

Now Real Madrid turn their attention to domestic matters, and it is a vital one, as they enter Sunday's El Clasico nine points behind Barcelona in LaLiga.

In the pre-match press conference for the big game, Ancelotti reiterated his previous praise for Militao, hailing him as the best defender in the game.

As reported by Managing Madrid, Ancelotti said: 'Militao is really quick, really good at one-on-one, really good with the ball and he can head the ball so well.'
